SO long as the absurd prosecutions are
continued against certain members of the
Richmond bar for practicing their pro-
fessions so long the TINES proposes TO
expose their absurdities, and hold them
and their promoters up to public notice.
We intend to cry aloud and spare not
As we showed yesterday morning, the
commOn-law idea of barTatry, champer
ty, and maintenance was nothing but the
arbitrary demand Of feudal lords that
weak men should not hold them account
able before the law for the riotous dep
relations that it was their pleasure to
commit upon them. Was Prince John,
pulling the Jews teeth one by one till
he agreed to lend him the sum he wanted,
going to tolerate the idea of that Jew ar
raigning him before the courts to make
him answer for his depredations !?
Assuredly not; and hence it came that
the man who would advise another Of
the methods by which the armed bar
barians of the day could be compelled by
the laws to render justice, was a man
whom the elite placed under the ban Of
fashionable censure
Those who work the policy" propose
to bring us back to those dark days.
They say the lawyer of to-day is the
same contemplate fellow that he was in
1900 Are the lawyers of Virginia ready
to have their calling thus debased
And let them observe that if the Legis-
lature may do in respect to their profes-
sion what it has already done, then their
profession is in no sense their own, but
they pursue it and practice it just as any
mob that happens to control the Legisla-
ture may choose to permit.
If the Legislature may say that law
yer shall not advise a client holding a
Virginia coupon as to what his rights
under the law. are, then it may say that
he shall not advise one holding a mort
gage as to what his rights under that
mortgage are; and instead, then, of the
lawyer who has spent his entire life
in studying the institutions of his
government, whereby ne has acquired
a knowledge that will nonorably main
tain his family and himself, having yO-
cation that belongs to him as his prop
erty, he has nothing but poor privilege
of which he may be deprived by any set
of gamblers that happen to be installed
in the Capitol as the States Legislature.
File upon the profession if it sits tamely
by and sees itself thus defrauded

'The brief of the appellants in the cele-
brated Telephone case is filed in the
United States Supreme Court, and it de-
clares emphatically that Bell obtained
the whole mechanism of his instrument
by getting accomplices in the Patent Of
fee to inform him of Gray's patents.
The fact appears in the record, to wit,
that Pollok and Bailey, Mr. Bells attor-
neys, had an underground railroad in
operation between their office and Exam
liner Wilber's room in the Patent Office,
by which they were enabled to have
unlawful and guilty knowledge of Gray's
papers as soon as they were filed in the
Patent Office Among the specifications
TO this charge in the brief occurs a
specific account of the manner and means
of the steal This is bad on Bell, but it
is still worse on the Republican manage
ment of the Patent Office, and will fur
nish a valuable chapter in the expose of
the "rascals" that ought to be turned
out.

fish or any other product or commodity
of the British provinces coming into the
United States.
This report is very similar to the Bel.
mont report in the House, and it now
seems likely that Canada will fail in the
policy Of bullying this Government.
This time we will doubtless have some
much more positive action than the i'm
memorial trick of "tail-twisting' in for
eign diplomacy.

WELFARE AND PROGRESS.


The people of such a State as ours
should rest political policy on principles
that are sound, and that agree with the
ideas of the modern world; and tirst OF
all is the consideration of our credit and
our reputation. Those who are ready
10 put the Democratic party
on platform of reputation
and opposition to the Federal laws may,
in their own belief, be acting the part OF
patriots in defending what they conceive
to be the rights of State sovereignty, out
the country generally does not see 1t IN
that light. and il must end in disastrous
blow to the vital interests of the State.
AS things are working now, of course
the result will be popular canvass IN
which the political issue will be the repu-
diation Of the debt because the creditors
refuse to accept the Riddleberger bill,
which we have tried in vain to make act.
1t is all well enough to say that Demo
Gratis who have fought in war and in
politics for this State are not Democrats
because they do not approve of the pres
ent policy of the party chiefs.
But, in all courtesy, pause, gentlemen
in your mad career for one moment
Do you suppose you can denounce men
as un-Democratic because they won't be
whipped in with lash made of Malone
material?
Be sure that you have the wit and wis
dom and the numbers before you try it,
Look to the organization Of the commit
tee, and say is it in accord with Demo
cratic principles?
Look to your programme, and see II 1t
looks Democratic to bulldoze people out
of the plainest rights of citizenship.
Don't you forget that there are thou
sands of men in this State, as good Dem
ocrats as anybody, neither ofliceholders
nor officeseekers. who cannot be bulldozed
by a cry gotten up by the men who have
made failure, and want to get it en-
dorsed as a success.
There was a Russian General who
drove his men into ranks with the knout
Don't you forget that we are not in
Russia, and that the people of Virginia
under reconciled country begin to feel
that there is pride of country broader
and higher than the neighborhood
sovereignty that was lost at Appomattox
Court House twenty years ago.
The straightforward and practical way
is the only one The creditors say they
are ready to settle. Show your assets and
your liabilities, and the settlement can be
made, and the State Of Virginia redeemed
and put fairly before the world to COM
pete for the capital that we want to de-
velop our resources.

The able Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun in speaking of the
Inter- Oceanic canal, says
at was urged that there is no question
affecting the interests of this country
paramount in importance to this matter
The universal sentiment as voiced by
all the Senators who spoke was that it

mercial interests are so closely bound up"

e Congressman j. Floyd King explains
in a card the circumstances OF his scene
with Mr. Cuthbert Jones which has, he
says, been misrepresented.
1t is not likely that General King
would have allowed any offensive terms
TO be applied to him, unless, as he ex-
plains, the advantage had been on the
other side in numbers and position, and
doubtless when the two parties meet
under different circumstances the story
will be different.
